Gifts and AJS Authors

Hey jammers! Exciting day today, I hope. Author tryouts? Yes! But first, the new items for today: in Jam Mart Furniture we have the returning pile of Gifts! Perfect for beneath the jamaaliday tree.

Our daily item is quite similar, in fact, it's a Bag of Gifts!

Also returning from last year's celebration. The classic gifts arrive today! And speaking of gifts (actually, it isn't a gift, but if you win it'd be cool, right?), we have the first AJS author tryouts coming out, competitions for Monday and Tuesday Spirit Authors. If you're interested in becoming a weekly author, or even if you'd like to learn a little more about the roles available on the Animal Jam Spirit, click here or the picture below!

Be sure to comment directly on the document if you have any questions. I hope to release a video explaining it later today, and I'll be answering questions you leave. If you're going to enter, leave a comment saying so, I'd like to see if enough jammers are interested in the position! Happy jamming everyone, hope to see you in Jamaa!

I think there should be SOME other way of acquiring diamonds... It's literally so hard! I think AJ should've given us 5 diamonds yesterday because they already gave us 1 diamond as a gift earlier this month :P

Hey jammers, im going to be writing a story soon, i finished about half of it. I will be telling the prologue and some of chapter one now because i want to know if it needs any improvements. ^_^ Its called The story of the Arctic wolves, explaining how arctic wolves came to jamaa PrologueLightning struck across the dark sky and the wind howled. Greely and a group of wolves and arctic wolves watched in fear and confusion as a cloud of strange, dark creatures loomed out of the darkness. Greely wasn't sure what they where but as they got closer, he sensed danger. Run! he shouted, the group of wolves and never ran this fast in their life, the Arctic wolves where behind the wolves as they where much more heavier. Somewhere behind, Greely saw Snowflake with her pups. Come on! faster! Greely shouted in panic, the cloud of darkness was catching up with the arctic wolves. Suddenly, he heard yelps and wails behind. Greely paused and turned behind, his eyes widened with fear as the cloud turned into a tornando, pulling all the arctic wolves and his pups inside. No! he wailed, the tornado got closer and he backed away, the only thing he could do was run. Greely and the wolves hid in a cave, he sat far away from the other wolves knowing his only remaining relatives where lost forever. Greely narrowed his eyes in fury, he would get revenge. Chapter 1Snowflake sat in her cave and watched the horizon waiting for the sun to rise. As the sky got lighter, the first lights of dawn shone across the landscape making the fresh snow sparkle like diamonds. Snowflake felt the warmth of the sun as she watched the first sunrise for five months. The rest of the wolves woke up and saw the welcoming lights of the sun, the age of darkness was finally over. Snowflake stretched her legs and padded out of her cave, the wolves where already up lapping up water from the cold, fresh stream nearby, it was the start of another day, the wolves went to there jobs. Please tell me what you think so far, this is just a part of the story. ^.^ And please do tell me what i should improve. Grammar, writing, story etc.~Cloud

That was amazing! Seriously, I love it! And the part where "the first lights of dawn shone across the landscape making the fresh snow sparkle like diamonds." I love that part <3 Keep working on it, it's great! Lol :)

Your story's awesome! It's extremely descriptive; I can picture everything in my head. I also love the concept and idea behind it. There are a few minor spelling errors, but I didn't find anything else wrong. Just continue writing and being creative! :D

I agree with Silver! Great Imagery!!This sentence,"Greely wasn't sure what they where but as they got closer, he sensed danger." Where should be spelled were. Just a heads up and maybe give it to Snowy for "Jammer Made Jamaaisan Lore"

Awesome story! I think I loved it! Not really sure because usually, I find anything that contains greely not worth reading... seriously, I don't see what people see in him, he's an overdevelopted character. (I personally prefer the underdevelopted characters)

... Well, anyway, back to the subject. I actually liked it! I think I so want to read it! (I'm never sure of anything.) I'm surprized I liked it though... It has so many of my pet peeves. (Small dumb things a person hates) Well anyway, I want to read it! (If I have to buy something to read it then i'll be really mad) I love fanfiction stuff. (They should really make an annimaljam fanfiction site) Well, anyway, i'm going to stop now before I somehow get to some unrelated subject... It happens.

(Basically, I like it, even though it has tons of stuff I hate.. Keep it up, I'd like to read it.)

Yeah, i really like getting new gifts better, they are better because no one knows what they are, so its a surprise! ^_^ I think AJHQ ran out of ideas..Or maybe AJHQ is trying to be fair to the other jammers who couldn't get the other gifts, so they get some for free? C:Happy New Year everyone! :D~Cloud

Good job! I'm not going to try out as an author, I need my sleep. But I'm definetly going to try doing one of those occasional send-in articles! There's been a lot of things I've always wondered about.

Those gifts look really neat! Perfect to put underneath a tree!And the bag of gifts is cool too! Mwah ha ha, I'm going to steal all the presents from it >:DGood luck to everyone who is doing the Author Tryouts! I'm going to enter at some point today too. Good luck!

Hi jammers! As most of you know, I wrote a song on the blog( is you didn't see it, here is the URL for the piece.) I was wondering if I should write songs for each season. Like a spring song for spring, and a summer song for summer etc... Send me your thoughtsI hope everyone has a pony-riffic holiday season. HAPPY JAMMING!

Here is another song for winter coming to a close:All through the year we have waited, waited through spring and fall, to hear silver bells ringing, see winter times bringing the happiest season of all! Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, and folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows, a turkey, and some mistletoe will help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes on a glow, will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa is on his way, he's loaded lots of toys and goodies, on his sleigh. and, every mother's child, is gonna spy, to see if reindeer really know, how to fly. And so, I'm offering this simple phrase, to kids from one to 92. Although it's been said, many times, many ways, merry Christmas, to you! (solo by choir) They know that Santa is on his way, he's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh! (drawn out and hushed)(back to song) And every mother's child, is gonna spy, to see if reindeer really know how to fly! (drowned out by music) And so I'm offering this simple phrase, to kids from one to 92 (ohhhhh) Although it's been said, many times, many ways, MERRY CHRISTMAS, to YOU!!!! (drawn out)

Anyway, My only problem, Snowy, I can't get up that early. I want to make my own blog one day, I thought this might give me some experience. My Mom thought it would be good too. Is there somehow I could post..later? My time Is Pacific Coast Time.

Dear Snowyclaw, I love your blog and everything about it! I would love to be an author for the blog. I can get up early, but I'm unsure how to tell what time it is on Animal Jam. If we could work out something, that would be great. Happy Holidays!~Equestria Girl

this is an OUTRAGE! because LilacPetal, my favorite YouTube jammer got suspended forever! i know why she got suspended but it dosent make sense! -bawls in background- i know this isnt a big deal, but LilacPetal IS a big deal to me. one of her accounts, marysaa or something like that, got suspended for having a real name in it, so it linked to all accounts LilacPetal has. im so sad i want to give away my account for her! -cries so much the oceans overflow and flood and everyone dies-~kiki51772 peace love spiders~

Yeah, I think it's kind of unfair. Like Help Endangered Species said, they should only ban hackers. But Lilacpetal made a video about why she was banned, and AJHQ said there were weird, unauthorized ways she was gaining gems. I can see why AJ thought this was hacking, but c'mon... did you have BAN her without second chances?

Good luck! I love your blogs. :)I wasn't able to get on roday... Would anyone mind sending me theirs if they didn't like it or got one on a second account? I'd really appreciate it!My username is numnum13.

** Mira lifted up her mighty wings and stared down the phantom, making them scared."Here's two things you can do," said Mira. "You can let Greely go, or you can let Greely go. Which one do you choose?""You will have to.. uh talk to our master.. about that- I mean... I would but-" The Phantom King walked in in the middle of his sentence."Oh, my favorite bird Mira!" He said dryly. "What brings you here to the phantom hive? Hmm?" "I want you to let Greely go, he is a innocent wolf who has done nothing but tried to protect Jamaa. Is that so wrong?" Mira said staring past the Phantom King, knowing if you stare into his eyes you could easily get hypnotized."Ah, Mira, Mira, Mira. You are quite a straight forward bird, but there is a reason." The Phantom King responded and stared directly at me. "Your alpha, Greely has taken something that belongs.. to you and your dear Zios, something that is important to you. Oh! Like your diary perhaps?" "Greely would never steal something like that, we all agreed it got lost when Zios died." Mira said looking uneasy of talking about Zios. "But, my queen. It is true, in fact, he has it right now!" The Phantom King exclaimed grabbing his cloak and pulling her diary out of the pocket."What- How? He wouldn't.. This can't be true! Is it.. true.. Greely?" She said near to tears snatching the book out of the phantom king's paw. "Mira, I could explain. I found the book somewhere.. um, I didn't mean to.. without that book Jamaa would be dead!" Greely said quickly. He wanted a magical black hole to appear and fall right in, he didn't know how he got into this mess!Mira's tears turned into rage. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!" She boomed making everyone jump. She looked directly at me, her beauty turned into something ugly, evil, disgusting. "Greely, would you like to stay here for the rest of you days?" Mira scowled, then she turned to The Phantom King. "I will be leaving now, I never want to see his face in Jamaa again! I don't care what you do with him, just.. I don't want to see him!" And Mira started to fade away leaving sparks and glitter."Now, lets resume our fun," said the phantom king turning into his true form. "I'm sure you excited to become.. one of us!" But Greely already blacked out, he was sure he wouldn't survive the torment he was about to go through, or maybe.. he will.

Hey Jammers, since Snowyclaw didn't update, I thought I would! Today's Jammalidays item is bows and arrows! Now, in the furniture section, there is a bunch of summer stuff on clearance, get it while you can! And lastly, the newest clothing item, is a Jammaliday bow! Happy Jamming!
